Two days ago, I wrote I never heard of Peter James (see elsewhere), and there he is again. Or is he not? Taalem says that he's a British artist, based in Scotland and that he was a member of 48cameras, whereas the 'other' Peter James runs the Australian Iceage Productions. What is furthermore confusing is the strong similarity between this one and the other one when it comes to synthesizers and the resulting drones. Taalem was (past tense now for this 3" series) a label concerned with all sorts of ambient music, and Peter James' music is entirely different from that of Pierre Julliard. James has a massive drone going for twenty-two minutes, which, following a quick fade-in, just goes up and up in volume and intensity. All dark from the start and allows for some mid-range frequencies, adding to the intensity. A solid piece, sure, but also not a very surprising piece in the world of massive ambient drones."
